This doesn’t work properly on my windows 8.1 machine. The drive is picked up by USB and It attempts to mount the drive but the My Computer window just hangs, the data is never made accessible. This continues until I power off the USB dock.
Alternatively on my Windows 7 machine the dock works flawlessly. Is there some things I can try to get it working on Windows 8.1?
